After Ye Tianyun and Dugu Bo joined forces, Ye Tianyun soon made secret contact with the Heaven Dou Empire's Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe.
The two met directly at the Crown Prince Mansion.
The scene shifted, and Xue Qinghe appeared.
Only a few people recognized him. Most had no idea who he really was.
At that moment, Qian Renxue was panicking. Would her identity be exposed? With the Live Broadcast Room's abilities, it had surely learned something.
"Uncle Snake, if my identity is exposed, we'll withdraw immediately."
Qian Renxue gave the order at once.
Although her strength meant she didn't fear the Heaven Dou Empire, she still had to run when it was time to run.
The Heaven Dou Empire had a formidable foundation.
On screen,
Qian Renxue was full of curiosity about Ye Tianyun. He was so young, yet already a Soul Elder—a true genius.
"You're the one who arranged for Poison Douluo to meet with me?"
She hadn't expected Poison Douluo to contact her because of Ye Tianyun.
After all, Poison Douluo was close with Prince Xue Xing and could be considered part of her enemy's faction. Yet because of Ye Tianyun, he was willing to reach out to her.
"That's right. I want to cooperate with Your Highness. This is my show of sincerity. I've forged Battle Armor—a One-Word Battle Armor. A Five-Ring Soul King who wears it can match a Soul Saint."
Ye Tianyun brought out a One-Word Battle Armor. He also had Two-Word Battle Armor, and once he had Three-Word Battle Armor in the future, he could retire the Two-Word Battle Armor.
???
Qian Renxue froze, finding it hard to believe. Could it really be true?
A Five-Ring Soul King could match a Soul Saint?
"Your Highness can try it."
"Very well. Let's see."
The Live Broadcast Room sped up the broadcast.
[After Xue Qinghe tested it, the One-Word Battle Armor's abilities proved capable of helping a Soul King stand against a Soul Saint.]
[Xue Qinghe naturally decided to take Ye Tianyun under his wing. She couldn't let such a genius slip away.]
Tang San, who was watching the broadcast, froze.
"How is that possible? He's only at the Soul King level, yet he can stand against a Soul Saint. Is Battle Armor really that good?"
He was envious, even a little jealous.
Why couldn't he do the same? And this was only One-Word Battle Armor. Ye Tianyun even had Two-Word Battle Armor.
Yu Xiaogang remained calm and patted Tang San on the shoulder in comfort.
"Xiao San, don't take it too seriously. Battle Armor may be powerful, but our Hidden Weapons are no slouches either. We can prepare Yama's Invitation first. If a Soul Saint isn't careful, they'll still end up dead."
That's my Hidden Weapon.
Tang San shouted inwardly, but when he thought of Yama's Invitation and the many other powerful Hidden Weapons, he felt reassured.
That's right. Their Tang Sect Hidden Weapons were no worse, and might even be stronger. They might not be able to pierce Battle Armor, but even a Soul Saint couldn't withstand them.
[After Ye Tianyun and Xue Qinghe reached an agreement, Xue Qinghe arranged for him to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy.]
[This was one of Ye Tianyun's goals as well. Canghui Academy's collection simply wasn't enough. His sights were set on the Heaven Dou Empire.]
[As one of the world's two great empires, the Heaven Dou Empire had existed for a long time and possessed immense wealth, as well as a vast store of knowledge. That was what Ye Tianyun needed.]
[He planned to use this knowledge to improve his Heaven-Swallowing Demon Art and create more cultivation methods and pills.]
[Life at Heaven Dou Royal Academy wasn't always peaceful. For instance, someone came looking for trouble: Xue Beng, who was always stirring things up. He pretended to be a good-for-nothing playboy, but had always wanted to get rid of Xue Qinghe.]
???
At that moment, Xue Beng in the Main Timeline was completely bewildered by the Live Broadcast Room.
Was the Live Broadcast Room deliberately trying to get him in trouble?
It was true that he wanted to kill Xue Qinghe, but he wasn't doing it for the Crown Prince's position. It was purely...
All right, it was indeed for the Crown Prince's position. But could the Live Broadcast Room at least explain things clearly? Now Emperor Xue Ye would probably suspect him.
Qian Renxue sneered at this.
"Good, good. I thought Xue Beng really was a good-for-nothing playboy. So he was only pretending. Looks like we need to deal with him."
The Live Broadcast Room continued its broadcast.
[Ye Tianyun encountered Xue Beng—or, more accurately, Xue Beng deliberately picked a fight with him.]
On screen,
Xue Beng brought a group of men to block Ye Tianyun's path. His aim was to eliminate the talented people Xue Qinghe was gathering.
"Boy, when you see His Highness Xue Beng—"
Ye Tianyun strode forward and slapped Xue Beng hard across the face.
"Get lost."
[Ye Tianyun had never taken Xue Beng seriously. With Qian Renxue protecting him, Xue Beng was no threat at all.]
"He actually dared to hit me! Get him!"
Xue Beng was secretly overjoyed. He had already wanted to deal with Ye Tianyun, and now Ye Tianyun had practically handed him an excuse. He swore he wouldn't rest until Ye Tianyun was finished.
Seven or eight guards rushed in to surround him. Ye Tianyun raised his hand and fired.
Bang, bang, bang...
Several guards fell one after another into pools of blood.
[This was Ye Tianyun's Soul Guidance Pistol. Even a Soul King could hardly escape death if caught off guard.]
"You—you just wait! I'll find someone to get even with you!"
[Although he had offended Xue Beng, Ye Tianyun was completely unharmed. Qian Renxue protected him, leaving Xue Beng powerless.]
[When facing Prince Xue Xing, Qian Renxue even shouted, "You will address me as Your Highness, the Crown Prince!" In the end, she successfully protected Ye Tianyun.]
[But Xue Beng wasn't easy to deal with either. Unable to use his own forces against Ye Tianyun, he decided to hire someone to take revenge.]
[The first person he thought of was Tang San, since Tang San was the team captain of Shrek Academy and was on good terms with Dugu Bo.]
[Xue Beng immediately went to become Tang San's disciple.]
[Considering Xue Beng's status as a prince, Tang San wanted to make use of him, so he agreed to accept Xue Beng as his disciple.]
[It was worth noting that Xue Beng became Tang San's disciple in every timeline. It was simply earlier in the Parallel Timeline.]
[One more thing worth noting: even after Xue Beng became Tang San's disciple, Tang San had no intention of teaching him the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record—not even a little. He was simply using Xue Beng.]
"Damn it, Tang San is so stingy. I've already become his disciple. Sure, I have my own little motives, but setting the facts aside, isn't he at fault too?"
Xue Beng cursed furiously.
He had thought that becoming Tang San's disciple would at least mean a good future. After all, Tang San was a protagonist.
But Tang San was only using him and couldn't even bring himself to teach him the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. What a miser.
"Still, at least I already have the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. I don't need Tang San at all."
Xue Beng was pleased with himself.
The Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record was wonderful.
Tang San didn't look too happy either.
"Damn it, what's there to mention? They're obviously mocking me behind my back, saying I'm guarding my treasure and refusing to teach the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. Do you think I can't see what they're up to?"
He understood the Live Broadcast Room far too well.
It had brought this up solely to target him.
The Live Broadcast Room ignored Tang San completely.
[Ye Tianyun and Tang San were about to clash for the third time. It would also be the second clash with Shrek Academy, and this time Tang San would lose even more miserably.]
[Shrek Academy would suffer an unprecedented defeat as well.]
